Arkansas State Red Wolves (1-3) vs Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks (2-2)
Saturday, October 01, 2022 at 7:00 pm
In Sun Belt games, Arkansas State has won 12 straight over the Warhawks and leads the series 17-4 after beating ULM 27-24 in Monroe last year as 3 point underdogs which was the 12th straight cover by the Wolves. With LA Monroe off a huge win vs Lafayette last week by a 21-17 count as underdogs Im betting on a natural letdown scenario to rear its ugly head vs a Arkansas State program that for what ever reasons owns a long term winning record. I know Arkansas State is just 1-3 but with Florida State transfer QB James Blackman, beginning to come into his own the Wolves are dangerous opponents. in his second year in the program, the veteran QB 43 career games and 34 starts under his belt, Blackman has completed 83-of-123 passes for 958 yards and five touchdowns with just one interception. Add to that Recognized on the Doak Walker Watch List, Johnnie Lang Jr. leads the ground game with 219 yards and one touchdown on 45 carries while Brian Snead has 164 yards and four scores on 39 attempts. Two pronged attack gets it done this week and gets us a win and cover.
